Willie Nelson’s 90th birthday celebration at the Hollywood Bowl could have been mistaken for a retirement party. But two years later at 92, he’s working as much as ever.

Sen. Mark Kelly, a Navy vet and astronaut, says military parades should honor service—not glorify Trump. He’s spoken out against Trump’s election lies and warns of rising extremism. Kelly stands for duty, democracy, and facts—not political spectacle.

"...the total amount of public lands for sale could be as high as 3.29 million acres. The bill would allow sales in all western states, except Montana...Research also shows that creating more housing in scenic resort towns and gateway communities doesn’t usually result in more affordable housing."

Call your Senators www.hcn.org/articles/sen... No one living in Teton County, ID or Teton County, Wyoming want our National forest cut down for the mansions of the super wealthy. #Idaho

In 1963, 24 years after the Wizard of Oz premiered, Ray Bolger came on The Judy Garland show and performed, If I only Had A Brain. Judy's eyes the entire time... Happy Birthday Jude

70% of US farm workers are non-citizen immigrants. Of those, nearly half are undocumented. Good luck with feeding America, Miller and Trump.

Texans are protesting peacefully, and Greg Abbott has the National Guard on standby. 
Because nothing scares him more than the people standing up and speaking out. Let me remind y’all: the right to peaceful protest is in the Constitution.

REMEMBER THIS?This is Officer Michael Fanone. On Jan 6, he was beaten, tased, and nearly killed defending the Capitol. Trump ignored pleas to send help—then pardoned the attackers. Now he claims to “back the blue”? We remember who stood by law enforcement—and who betrayed them.

After the U.S. government drove wolves to near extinction, a spiritual connection is what led Nez Perce Tribe to work to bring the himíin back to Idaho, Yellowstone and the West. This is the story of how they pulled off a task no one else wanted – and why they’re still fighting for wolves today.

I love Jimmy Kimmel. youtu.be/baR4logaaOQ?...

A piece of advice from an old retired soldier to the commanders and leaders currently serving: Review the regulations & policies addressing political behavior when wearing the uniform, and then address those standards with your teams.

Well Dad, it's been 2 yrs now. I miss our every Fri phone call & remember the last time we visited in person. So glad you retained your wisdom & wit, right up to the end. Fair winds & following seas, Sir. You taught us well, Dad. We have the watch. Won't let your generation down.

Don’t get it twisted. Your enemies have never been immigrants who actually contribute more than enough to society. Your enemies are greedy corporations making millions or billions and dodging their fair share of taxes.

🤣

Thank you to all those in the military community who are speaking out. We need your voices more than ever right now. Please keep reminding Americans that the military serves the constitution and the citizens, not a dictator. #MilitarySky #VeteransSky

Helen Chu is one of the ousted #ACIP members. She spoke to me today about her grave concerns for future vaccination policy and vaccine access in the United States. www.statnews.com/2025/06/10/c...

CA Gov. Gavin Newsom: This is about all of us. This is about you. California may be first, but it clearly will not end here. Other states are next. Democracy is next."

You lose your job for some reason. Then you lose your healthcare. Then you’re gonna want help eating and staying relatively healthy & warm, and you recall all the money you’ve gave them from your checks, but the state no longer thinks you’re worth helping with your own money.

@biiirdsong.bsky.social Had to share photo. Muledeer doe, twin fawns & I suddenly found selves 20 ft from ea other today, on the place. Deer suddenly bounded every direction & I got one, quick phone cam photo. A fawn caught mid-bound. Not crisp & clear, but an "abstract" blur of motion! I like it.

Donald Trump commandeered 2,000 of our state’s National Guard members to deploy on our streets.  Illegally, and for no reason.

for context, here's a map of greater Los Angeles and “the protest” is roughly in the red circle

Had just driven up to home after a quick run to town. And, when stepped out of pickup, a muledeer doe with twin fawns was working thru our picnic area. Saw me & all took flight. Captured one photo with phone &, altho kinda abstract, was surprised I had any image, at all!

www.npr.org/2025/06/10/n... Now many of the most powerful business leaders in America are warning that country's global financial standing is at risk Dimon said he's specifically worried about the power of the U.S. dollar — which has been the world's dominant currency since the end of World War II

Let that sink in

This isn’t about safety. It’s about control. It’s about declaring martial order from manufactured mayhem—and dressing it up as salvation. And that’s exactly why Newsom is doing the opposite. open.substack.com/pub/jojofrom...
